It’s kind of hard to miss. The highly anticipated gay-friendly restaurant and nightclub opened a couple of months ago, and this sister (who’s not a mister) has been stopping by regularly.

There’s a chandelier at the entrance, disco balls, men in tight skivvies pole-dancing over the bar and something that looks like it came from Superman’s Fortress of Solitude in the middle of the dance floor. Oh, and I almost forgot the pink-and-black zebra.

Did the I mention that the building is pink?

Sounds gaudy, but it’s not. Co-owner Brian Humphries has created a beautiful space that is a polished marriage of the industrial and the flamboyant — a style that’s fun in an outrageous way.

The club, which used to be a car dealership (and a boat dealership before that) is more than 12,000 square feet and includes two outdoor seating areas, a large bar, a dance floor, a stage that could stand to be a bit larger, a VIP lounge and a sports bar. The DJ is perched on the second story, spinning mainly high-energy dance and Top 40 remixes. Humphries is expanding the club’s patio, which overlooks Lake Barton.

It reminds me of an updated version of another popular gay entertainment complex in town – Parliament House. And that would make sense. Humphries used to work there, and his topnotch service, personality and, let’s face it, his looks, made him one of the most popular bartenders in town.

He is using the same formula at Mr. Sisters, making the bartenders a focal point. After 9 p.m., the mostly male staff members strip down and take to the poles and the wide bar top in between serving drinks. Because of the way the bar is designed, it sometimes looks like the bartender on the opposite side of where you’re sitting is wearing nothing at all. Bartending is a show as well as a service here. There’s a schedule online at mrsisters.com so that customers know when their favorite bartender is working.

So many features catch the eye, including one that I actually love: the transparent bathroom. Glass walls surround the room, whose doors open with a motion sensor. No worries: Once you’re inside a stall, customers can no longer sneak a peek.

But this place gets packed. Although it’s a gay-friendly establishment, everyone is welcome. Crowds are so big on Friday and Saturday nights that the owners sometimes add portable toilets in the parking lot. More bathrooms — see-through or not — would be a plus.

There are lots of drink specials, but make sure you know what they are. I got a great deal during happy hour on cranberry-and-vodka doubles for the price of a single at $5.50 a pop (great pour). But when I ordered a Michelob Ultra during another happy-hour visit, I was charged $5.

Two-for-one or not, $5 is steep for a Mich Ultra. My friend’s Miller Lite was $4 — again, way too pricey. If you pay a bit more attention than I did, you’ll see that you can get 50-cent well drinks all day on Sundays, $2 Miller Lites on Tuesdays and $1 drafts on Fridays. The full schedule of drink specials is also online.

To soak up all of that alcohol, there’s a full menu designed by Pom Moongauklang, owner of Pom Pom’s Teahouse and Sandwicheria, and fashioned after the Seven Deadly Sins. That’s because Mr. Sisters lives a double life of sorts — as a full-service restaurant until 9 every night and as a nightclub afterward. I’ve sampled some of the appetizers and they’re delish — especially the empanadas.

But I’ll Iet our food editor, Heather McPherson, tell you about that other half of this sister in a future dining review. I’ll stay focused on the bar — and those bartenders.
